A range of different facilities have been promised by developers as they submit plans for 43 retirement apartments in Woodhall Spa.

If given the green light, the development would see the installation of additional bus stops, car parking, "attractive" communal gardens, new boundary treatment and improvements to footpaths along Tattershall Road - where the site has been earmarked.

McCarthy and Stone – the UK’s leading retirement housebuilder - has submitted the plans that would see the site featuring a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments.

The plan is to develop land to the west of Tattershall Road with new Retirement Living accommodation, which includes 36 on-site car parking spaces.

Around 2,000 Woodhall Spa residents and businesses were invited along to a public exhibition back in November 2017 to view the proposals and share their feedback.

Matt Wills, regional managing director of McCarthy and Stone, said: “We would like to thank everyone that took part in the consultation process. Our discussions with residents and the feedback received has been invaluable in shaping the final scheme.

“There is an independently identified need for specialist housing for older people in Woodhall Spa and our recently submitted plans would help address this shortfall.

"Retirement Living apartments are designed to allow older homeowners to downsize into accommodation better suited to their needs, while remaining close to their friends and family.

“Specialist retirement accommodation also allows for a more efficient use of public services, with health professionals being able to visit multiple homeowners in a single visit.”

Retirement Living apartments can be occupied by people aged 60 or over and are provided for outright sale, although the average age of residents upon purchase is 79.

McCarthy and Stone is proposing a two-storey design, which takes cues from the existing architecture in Woodhall Spa through its form and use of traditional, high-quality materials.

The majority of homeowners moving in to McCarthy and Stone developments already live in the local area.

McCarthy and Stone has reviewed all the feedback received and is liaising with Lincolnshire County Council to explore the potential of installing additional bus stops close to the site entrance, along with contributions toward improvements to the existing footpath along Tattershall Road.
